An alternative to (but relative of) ranch homes, the split level house plan features three levels of living space on a floor plan that makes economical use of the space on the building lot. The front door leads to platform between the two levels, with stairs leading up and down to the other levels. The mid-level area of the house plan often contains the living and dining area, the upper level holds the bedrooms, and the lower level typically features a finished family room and garage.
The exterior of the split level house - composed of natural wood, bricks, and large picture windows, but with few decorative elements - gives the home a modern, unfussy feel. The relaxed and informal split level house caters particularly well to growing families, since the multiple levels allow different focuses - play, study, entertaining - to occur at the same time, with a minimum of spillover disruption. Also, the split level house plan typically features a finished basement and a sliding glass door that leads to the patio.
